The latest returns from the Tennessee
election place the anti-prohibition MAORI
ty at 25.778. This is much larger ma

the rum power is as yet invincible. The
temperance people will continue to agltate
the subject and may be able to reduce this
majority in the future.

Investigation has utterly exploded the
story current two weeks ago in European
circles that the remains of Napoleon had
been stolen from the tomb in the In
vahdes To any one familiar with the
location and surroundings OF this grand
est of earthly sepulchers, the absurdity OF
the report was evident. The lid ct the
sarcophagus is ten tons, and very heaVy
machinery would be required to move 1t.
There is always guard on duty. and the
coming and going OF visitors under the
eye of the grand dome are constant Inc
sensation about disturbance of the great
warriors body is not new one. AT hrst
il was said that the heart had been carried
away. and alterward that rats had eaten
it, but none of the previous reports had
any stronger basis than the idle tale the
news mongers recently started.

ANDROSCOGGIN.

The Lewiston Journal in reporting further
particulars concerning the fatal accident at
the wheel pit of the electric light station says
The body of the dead was brought over from
the new stone dam of the Little Androscoggin
Water Power Company, Monday afternoon,
and taken to his friends. The injured man
is more comfortable. Courier and Roi were
in the direct path of the rim of iron and did
not see its approach. Messrs. Bearce & Cliff
ford, the masonry contractors, desire it said
that the men were not in their employ, and
that they had nothing to do with the rim of
iron that caused the accident. A fatality
seems to attend this same rim of iron. Earlier
in the day it was in front of the machine shop
and the workmen were hammering upon it,
passing horse became frightened and nearly
precipitated the lady driving over an embark
ment on the other side of the street.
